🚗⚡ NO DRIVEWAY? YOU MIGHT STILL BE ABLE TO CHARGE YOUR EV AT HOME!

Think you can't install a home EV charger because you park on the street?

Think again! 👀

There are solutions available for households without private driveways, including approved cross-pavement charging systems.

But before you start shopping for a charger, there are a few things you need to know!

🏠 On-street charging – What options are available if you don't have a driveway?
📋 Council permissions – Do you need planning permission or a Section 50 licence?
💷 Government grants – Could you qualify for up to £500 towards your home EV charger?
⚡ Installation requirements – What needs arranging, and who's responsible?

We've covered all of this in Week 4 of our EV Charging: What You Actually Need to Know series.

How long does it actually take to charge an electric car at home? ⚡

8 hours? 10 hours? All night?

The answer depends on more than just the size of your EV's battery, and there's one important point that's often overlooked:
Most drivers aren't charging from 0% to 100% every time they plug in.

If you're simply replacing the energy you've used during the day, your actual charging time could be considerably shorter than the headline figures you see quoted for a full charge.

In Week 3 of EV Charging: What You Actually Need to Know, we're looking at:
⚡ How home EV charging times are calculated
🔋 Why battery size matters
🏠 What you can expect from a typical 7–7.4kW home charger
🌙 Whether your EV can charge overnight
⏱️ Why everyday top-ups matter more than 0–100% figures

⚡ From one DC charger to three: Tuffins Supermarket

Back in 2022, StarkEV installed EV charging facilities at Tuffins Supermarket and Garden Centre in Craven Arms, including a 150kW DC charger and three 22kW AC chargepoints.

We've since returned to expand the site's charging infrastructure, adding two 60kW DC chargers alongside the original 150kW unit.

As part of the expansion, we also installed load management hardware and software to help manage the increased demand on the site's electrical supply.

All three DC chargers are also equipped with contactless payment terminals, giving customers a simple way to pay for charging without needing to download an app or create an account.

It's a great example of how commercial EV charging infrastructure can evolve as a site's requirements change. ⚡

Does a 22kW EV charger charge your car three times faster than a 7kW charger? ⚡🚗

Not necessarily.

The number on the chargepoint only tells you how much power the charger can provide. How quickly your EV actually charges also depends on:
⚡ Your electrical supply
🚗 Your vehicle’s maximum AC charging rate
🔌 The chargepoint itself
🏢 And, on larger installations, how the available power is managed

For most homes, 7kW charging is the standard choice. At commercial and workplace sites with three-phase supplies, 11kW and 22kW charging can be options, but there's little benefit in providing 22kW to a vehicle that can only accept 11kW.

We've explained 7kW, 11kW and 22kW EV charging, three-phase supplies, AC vs DC charging, load management and what determines how quickly an EV can actually charge.

EV CHARGING: WHAT YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO KNOW

Can you charge an electric car from a normal 3-pin plug? 🔌🚗⚡

Technically, yes.

But just because your EV charging cable fits a standard household socket doesn't mean that socket is designed for regularly charging an electric vehicle.

EV charging can place a substantial electrical load on a socket and its wiring for several hours at a time, which is very different from most everyday household appliances.

And here's something you might not know:
👉 There are 13A sockets specifically designed and tested for EV charging.
EV-rated sockets are different from ordinary household sockets and should be installed on an appropriate dedicated circuit with the required electrical protection.

For regular charging, a dedicated EV chargepoint will generally provide a faster, purpose-designed solution.

We've broken down the differences between:
🔌 Standard household sockets
⚡ EV-rated 13A sockets
🚗 Dedicated EV chargepoints

⚡ When did you last check your EV chargers?

🔍 Inspection and testing
🔧 Fault finding and repairs
🌐 Connectivity and communication issues
